NOTE 3: THIS WORK ONLY WITH UPDATES FROM THE SAME BASE SO CHECK YOUR DEVICE.
Short note: Tested on my VTR-L29.
Short intro if you would like to read from my experience:
- Okay so there are many people complaining about B162 that is not updating apps via playstore so that kinda made me want to update my phone to the last B164 version. After a few minutes searching through the forums I found a tool to update my phone and I decided to try. I made all the steps and the phone rebooted and surprise: update has failed and also I got the beautiful 'your device has failed verification error'. Sounds scary,eh? Not at all because it did not affect my phone in any way but it pissed me off so I decided to browse even deeper and I found this tutorial which worked. I got it running with B164 and also got rid of that error. Life's fun, isn't it? lol​
Tools you will need:
- Patience and coffee
- Your phone must be atleast 80% battery because it will take a while to finish the whole process
- Firmware Finder app ( you can download it from the playstore / apk from the web ..you choose )
Steps:
- Install the magic Firmware Finder app from playstore or your source
- Open it and you will notice three (3) bars on the left side of the app -> choose Settings
- Now you should see an option ' Use proxy for install ' -> activate the option and install the addon when it ask you to do it
- Return to the inital screen of the app and search for the latest firmware available ( for me it was B164 ). Make sure you use the full firmware. DO NOT USE OTA !
- Press on your firmware and choose ' get an update through proxy '
- Go to phone settings-> wifi -> long press your wifi network -> modify -> show advanced options -> proxy settings -> manual -> set the name as localhost and port as 8080 and then save.
- Go to settings -> updater -> check for new update. A new update should appear and it also should be the firmware you have chosed earlier in Firmware Finder app. Pay attention to the details so you won't screw things up. If the update matches with your firmware finder update package then proceed and press download.
- Once the download has started leave it till it gets ~5% and check for any errors . If everything works and is error free then you can pause the download.
- Remember I told you to pause the download? Well yea, you have to do it. Now go back to wifi settings @ your network, remove the proxy and save.
- Resume the update download
- When the download is finished the phone will verify the package and install it.
- Congrats mate, you did it !
I hope this will help people out with updates or failures.
I also got you a few screenshots that might clear things out.
Have fun using your P10 :highfive: .
09.01.2018 UPDATE FOR USERS THAT CAN JOIN THE OREO BETA BY COUNTRY USING FIRMWARE FINDER
Note 1: Your device might not boot. -> May lead to a factory reset using stock recovery. * it was not my case but it can happen*
Note 2: This might not work if your device was rebranded. Keep in mind that they use the IMEI to sign up for beta testing so your rebranded device might not be able to sign up for it.
Note 3: Do it at your own risk. Do not blame me if something goes wrong. This worked for me and a couple of people but it's not 100% sure that will work for anyone.
Note 4: Always backup your data!
We all know that they need B180 to get the beta access but even though I saw pictures of users that joined the program using B171. If you are using a higher version, as I did before (B179) there is no project available in beta app. Most of users are using B179 and B180 is not aproved because we are unlucky lol.
I managed to get a quick fix for that in order to join the beta that migh work for you aswell.
Follow these:
* you follow, you risk mate, not my fault if you mess up something*
1. Use Firmware Finder.
2. Set proxy to B164 (FullOTA-MF 2017.08.14) - do not forget to check for it..always check to be aproved mate!
3. Download and wait for it to install.
4. Boot the phone, clear all recent apps and get B171 via OTA ( NOT FIRMWARE FINDER, JUST CHECK FOR UPDATES ).
5. Download and wait for it to install x2 (B171 this time).
6. *If you already have the beta app installed, if not jump to next* Go to settings -> Beta app -> Clear all the data.
7. Sign in to huawei id (if not already).
8. Go to beta app and accept the conditions -> go to projects -> the beta project should be there, just sign up for it and wait for your request to be accepted!
9. Wait for further updates, since you are signed they might come.
10. *optional* Boot into stock recovery ( vol + and pwr ) and clear cache after the updates, that might help the phone to clear up some junk files used in the whole process.
I hope that this will help most of you that got into B179 before the beta testing.
Cheers :highfive:
Worsk perfectly on VTR-L09
I am happy to hear that !
Works great to bring VTR-L09C2B151 with Vodafone branding to 155. Thanks
will it work on rooted device? thanks
Might work if your recovery is stock. Not sure though, but your root will be gone after the update.
You can try but I can not confirm it will work.
Firmware Finder
I think you forgot to mention the "Check Firmware Access" if the firmware update is approve to install already, otherwise installation will fail after reboot. Also, I do download OTA only and not the full firmware package since I'm already in the latest version. Download full firmware package only if you're in much lower firmware version

Thank you for the guide. Followed all steps. Once downloaded it says it has failed to authorise and it will delete the package. Can't seem to get around this. Any ideas?
You sure you got the right package?

Thanks for swift reply.
Yes, I go to the Firmware Finder app and find the full update version I want, switch on the proxy inside app, change settings for WiFi (localhost 8080), go to settings, it tells me there's an update.
Checked the size of file - it's 2.8GB instead of 2.2GB. The button I press says "Quick Update" (blue button). It downloads the update. I get further than 5%, pause download, remove the WiFi proxy settings (localhost 8080), get 100% but...
...says it is unauthorised and will be deleted.
(EDIT: Screenshot added below)
For some reason I still think that there is something wrong with your package. I had no such issue with mine. I'm not sure what to do about exactly but you can try to ask for help in the original thread I provided in the main post.
Hi guys. So I have the the VNS-L31C432B391 and I want to upgrate the P9 Lite to B397. Can I do it without any problem?
I got the same error as @wickdaman with my P10 L09. Downloads the entire thing then fails to authenticate and deletes the update.
Before downloading the new firmware click on 'IMEI check'. This will tell you if the firmware is installable on your device.
None of the B171 above versions (witch is my current on VTR-L09B432) is suitable for the installation, checked with/without IMEI and by trying to install B179 for example that lead to the same outcome, install failed, downloaded firmware deleted. I think this issue has something to do with EMUI 5.1 ID safeguard that I tried to downgrade without success but anyway, any of versions with number below mine (B171) can be used and I have installed them successfully, B162 i think and after restart system checks for newer versions on its own and finds B171 and naturally I am back to beginning.
Sorry for my English, it's not my native language, I did the best I could. Hope this helps people.
Hello, newb here.
Will this get the updates directly from Huawei while skipping the provider? My provider (Fido aka Rogers) is horrible for bringing out updates and are full of bloat wear.

Checked VKY-L09 C432B177 update today. Allows me to download it now, although the model number has now changed to include a B at the beginning - BC432B177.
No idea if this is meant to be the same model number or if it's a locked network version or not. I'll find out soon and write an update.

I did find the answer to my problem is that FF doesn't support EMUI5+
If you are on EMUI4 or less it works, but something in EMUI5 breaks the ability to update in this manner.
I recently picked up a the F-05e but it has ICS on it. I see that there is JB and downloaded the update but can't figure out what it should be named or where to put it for the built-in firmware update (power button + volume up) to see it and apply it. The file is called UpdatePackageFile.dat and I put it in the root of the SDCard but it says it can't be found. I can't read Japanese and the translate options don't appear to be helping me too much. I am using this page:
http://spf.fmworld.net/fujitsu/c/update/nttdocomo/f-05e/update2/top/index.html#heading02
If I try to follow the instructions on the above page, the tablet tells me "Software update is necessary for the Android system upgrade. Launch this application again after the update is done." When I try to do the software update, I get an error that says I must be connected to the Docomo network for it to work. "When docomo network is not available, or during roaming, software update is not available even if Wi-Fi is connected." It might be that the tablet can't be updated but it is worth a shot. If nothing else, the tablet can run a good percentage of Android software (Netflix, ereaders, not too heavy games, etc).
Any help is appreciated.

I'm extremely new to this phone, but not to XDA (I've been around XDA longer than ive had my account.) Is there anything on my phone, the LG K8 Verizon Edition VS500 released in 2016? I'd love to put a new rom on it. Thanks.
Hi if you search to update your System with Official firmware you can do it by following steps bellow:
Open Settings > go to General > About phone. (If using List view, scroll down to PHONE MANAGEMENT,' then tap About phone.)
Now click Update Center. Tap System update. >Tap Check for update.
If you have any update, follow the on screen prompts to update the device.
@Teddy Lo oh I meant to root it. I'm already up to date on official software.
Hello, I am using xiaomi mi box 3 4k. After oreo update I am having huge problem with wifi connection. Now I trying replace it from the seller with android 6.0 and after that I will stick with that. But is there any way to disable automatic system update mi box 3 .
If you've got root access then delete the OTA update app.

You should first try to invoke system update from MiBox settings menu on the current device. Most all wifi issues have been resolved in recent months......
There is also a chance your router is one of the brands that has a disaffinity for the Xiaomi wifi/bluetooth chipset. In that case, another Xiaomi device will also fail unless you replace your router.
There is no such thing as unprompted automatic system update.
However, if you want to avoid the chance of a child, so, wife, roommate, gremlin or other unaware person initiating the update process, which requires 3 positive affirmed clicks on box, you can block the following location at your router/firewall.....
https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota-api/
Good luck

WRONG.....
Not possible on either international Xiaomi MiBox model as admin access to system files is totally impossible since Nougat days.
Any update on this, I can edit a mi box 9.0 firmware then port and flash to my s905x based tv box, runs well but today got a notification about an official Mi Box Update, install fails as it's not using the mi box recovery ect... would like to disable the ota update as I'll create an update manually to install using Amlogoc USB Burn Tool, had a look is the build.prop and default.prop but no ota update url there, cant see an OTA update app either

Wouldn't it be possible to block Xiaomi update servers in hosts?
